Haskell Language Functor Deriving Functor
Example
The DeriveFunctor language extension allows GHC to generate instances of Functor automatically.
{-# LANGUAGE DeriveFunctor #-}
data List a = Nil | Cons a (List a) deriving Functor
-- instance Functor List where -- automatically defined
-- fmap f Nil = Nil
-- fmap f (Cons x xs) = Cons (f x) (fmap f xs)
map :: (a -> b) -> List a -> List b
map = fmap
